Detailed Description
Join us for our annual Biology Christmas Lecture, bringing together alumni for an evening of fascinating science and festive cheer.
This year's lecture, "Unwrapping the Story of Your Recognition Genes," explores the remarkable diversity of our immune systems and the evolutionary history hidden within our genes.
Each of us has a unique tissue type that plays a crucial role in organ transplantation. But why are these tissue types so incredibly diverse? The answer lies in millions of years of co-evolution between vertebrates and the pathogens that challenge them. Discover how immunogenetics can unlock insights into human evolutionary history and help address global health challenges today.
Following the lecture, we invite you to continue the conversation over mulled wine and mince pies.
We look forward to welcoming you back for an evening of discovery, conversation and Christmas celebration!
